    Long ago there was different kinds of bread. One of them was boxty. Boxty was made by grating raw potatoes into pulp. It was then left to sour for about twenty four hours. It was then mixed with a little flour and made in to a thick dough. It was then flattened out and cut into farrols, and baked on a large pan known as a griddle. It is said it was very nice when fried with a pan of Irish Bacon.
    Boxty on the griddle,
    Boxty on the pan,
    If you dont eat Boxty,
    Youll never be a man.
